Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics freight management, and in particular to a logistics selection method and system. Background Art
[0002] In the field of logistics freight management, enterprises or units often face the situation that a large amount of logistics needs to be sent out in the same period. In this case, on the one hand, the freight cost is difficult to control effectively; the traditional freight calculation method is not accurate enough, and it fails to fully consider factors such as the weight, volume, and charging standard differences of the goods, resulting in a large deviation between the estimated freight and the actual cost. Enterprises are prone to bear excessive freight, and the cost pressure increases dramatically under a large number of orders. On the other hand, the timeliness of logistics is difficult to guarantee; when choosing a logistics method, if only a single factor is used, such as the one-sided pursuit of low prices and the selection of slow logistics, the delivery of goods will be delayed, and the customer's requirements for timeliness will not be met, affecting customer satisfaction and corporate reputation. At the same time, the lack of coordination in various links of logistics, poor information transmission, and low efficiency in order processing, cargo sorting, and transportation scheduling further exacerbate the timeliness problem. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide enterprises with an efficient and accurate logistics selection solution. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a logistics selection method and system to optimize the logistics selection process and improve the efficiency of logistics management. The method and system can comprehensively consider multiple factors to calculate freight and scores, recommend appropriate logistics methods, and through the collaborative work of various modules, effectively improve the scientific nature of logistics decision-making and the accuracy of logistics operations, and help enterprises to carry out logistics business efficiently.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention designs a logistics selection method and system for selecting a suitable logistics company for express transportation. The logistics selection method comprises the following steps: A1. Information acquisition: Get the weight and volume of the express delivery. Enter the departure and destination of the express delivery for different logistics methods. Based on this, query the charging standards and timeliness information of each logistics method under different weights and volumes. The time efficiency refers to the time required for different logistics methods to transport express from the departure point to the destination; A2. Freight estimation: Calculate the estimated freight for express delivery by different logistics methods based on the weight, volume and charging standards of different logistics methods; A3. Priority value calculation. The priority value represents the order of selection of logistics methods. Classify according to the influencing factors that affect the priority value, define the quantitative scores of each influencing factor and the influence weights on the priority value, that is, define the magnitudes of the influences of different influencing factors, and sum the quantitative scores of all influencing factors under different influence weights to obtain the priority value. The influencing factors at least include cost influencing factors and timeliness influencing factors. A4. Logistics selection. When there is no single-condition priority requirement, preferentially select the logistics method with a high priority value according to the calculated priority value.
[0005] The above method is essentially a comprehensive priority method.
[0006] The single-condition priority requirements include shortest time priority, minimum cost priority, user evaluation priority, customer designation priority, etc.
[0007] In the case of having a single-condition priority requirement, only select one priority requirement as the basis for the selection of the logistics method; among them, the shortest time priority requirement generally means that the customer needs to receive the relevant express delivery as soon as possible, and at this time, other factors such as cost are not considered. Other single-condition priority requirements for other single-condition priorities are similar.
[0008] The calculation steps of the estimated freight are as follows: A21. Judge whether to charge according to the fixed weight charging standard. A22. If charging according to the fixed weight, then ; where is the estimated freight, W is the weight of the express delivery, and P is the weight rate; A23. If not charging according to the fixed weight, it is necessary to calculate the classified freight. The classified freight includes the freight calculated according to the first weight and subsequent weight, the freight calculated according to the volumetric weight, and the freight calculated according to the volume. The estimated freight takes the maximum value among them.
[0009] The specific calculation methods include: ; ; where , , are the estimated freight, the freight calculated according to the first weight and subsequent weight, the freight calculated according to the volumetric weight ratio, and the freight calculated according to the volume respectively; , , , , are the first weight cost, the subsequent weight rate, the insurance premium, the volumetric weight rate, and the volume rate respectively; is the volume, D is the volumetric weight ratio, and W is the subsequent weight.
[0010] Chargeable weight is a standard used in the logistics and transportation industries to calculate freight charges, mainly for goods that are large in volume but light in weight. Its purpose is to balance the relationship between the space occupied by the goods and their actual weight, ensuring more reasonable transportation costs. The chargeable weight ratio refers to the value of the equivalent weight per unit volume. Select the maximum value among the classified freight charges as the final freight charge. This method comprehensively considers the freight charges under different charging standards, avoiding the problem of underestimation or overestimation of freight charges caused by a single calculation method, making the freight charge calculation more in line with actual business.
[0011] The calculation method of the priority value is as follows: ; ; where and are the priority value, freight score, and timeliness score of the corresponding logistics method respectively; are the freight impact coefficient and timeliness impact coefficient respectively, and ; and are the average freight charge and average timeliness calculated from all logistics methods respectively; and are the freight charge and timeliness of the corresponding logistics method respectively.
[0012] Among them, both the freight charge and timeliness are estimated values, which are obtained based on the relevant freight charge and timeliness data required for different logistics methods to transport from the same departure place to the same destination within a certain period of time; accordingly, the average freight charge is obtained by dividing the total freight charge of all logistics methods by the number of logistics methods; the average timeliness is obtained by dividing the total transportation time of all logistics methods by the number of logistics methods.
[0013] The influencing factors also include any combination of the complaint rate influencing factor, additional charge rate influencing factor, and customer rating influencing factor; the calculation method of the priority value includes the following Method 1 or Method 2; The calculation method of Method 1 is as follows: ; ; where are the complaint rate score, additional charge rate score, and customer rating score respectively; are the complaint rate influencing coefficient, additional charge rate influencing coefficient, and customer rating influencing coefficient respectively, and in this calculation method ; and and The average values of the complaint rate, the additional charge rate, and the customer rating, respectively, calculated on average for all logistics methods; , , The complaint rate, the additional charge rate, and the customer rating corresponding to the logistics method, respectively; The relevant data such as the freight, the delivery time, the complaint rate, the additional charge rate, and the customer rating are obtained based on the corresponding data generated during the transportation of different logistics methods from the same departure place to the same destination within a certain period of time; among them, the complaint rate is obtained by dividing the number of complaints by the total number, the additional charge rate is obtained by dividing the additional charge amount by the total amount, and the data comes from the customer ratings collected each time, and the average value of the customer ratings collected each time is obtained.
[0014] The average complaint rate is obtained by dividing the total complaint rate of all logistics methods by the number of logistics methods, and the calculation methods of other average values are similar.
[0015] The calculation method of the second method is as follows: ; ; Among them, , , , , The maximum values of the cost, the delivery time, the complaint rate, the additional charge rate, and the customer rating among all logistics methods, respectively.
[0016] The maximum values of the freight and the delivery time are both estimated values.

[0018] The said information maintenance module includes an ERP material maintenance unit, an inner box and outer box maintenance unit, and a freight maintenance unit; The said ERP maintenance unit is responsible for maintaining order information and the actual weight and / or volume of each material; The said inner box and outer box maintenance unit is used to maintain the relationship between the material and the inner box, the relationship between the inner box and the outer box, and the relationship between the material and the outer box; The relationship between the material and the inner box is the number of materials that one inner box can hold; the relationship between the inner box and the outer box is the number of inner boxes that one outer box can hold; the relationship between the material and the outer box is the number of materials that one outer box can hold when there is no inner box for the material; The said information maintenance module is also responsible for transmitting the association information between the material and the packaging to the warehouse usage module, transmitting the shipping arrangement information to the warehouse usage module, and transmitting basic data to the background management module, including the charging standards, timeliness, complaint rate, additional charging rate, and customer scores and other relevant data for different logistics methods to the same destination.
[0019] In the said internal affairs usage module, its specific operation steps include: B1. Obtain and display the order information of all express deliveries to be sent through the information maintenance module; B2.

[0020] B4. Transmit the determined logistics method to the warehouse processing module.
[0021] In the said warehouse usage module, the warehouse usage process includes the following steps: C1. Automatically bind the relationship between the express delivery number and the box number; one box corresponds to one box number, and the box number is associated with the order number; when printing the express delivery form, bind the express delivery number and the box number, including the cases of fresh goods, inventory goods, and accessories being packed separately, etc., all need to be bound; C2. Check whether the box number is bound to the express waybill number. If it is bound, proceed to the next step. If the binding is not completed, stop the outbound process and promptly notify the warehouse maintenance staff. The warehouse maintenance staff shall complete the binding between the express waybill number and the box number manually. Support manual binding of the relationship between the express waybill number and the box number on the vertical warehouse or PDA interface to prevent unsuccessful automatic binding or other special situations.

During the execution of the warehouse usage process, there are some boxes that do not require an express waybill number, such as self-pickup. Such boxes need to be marked so that the waybill number verification is not required during outbound.
[0022] The background management module obtains the basic data of different logistics methods through the information maintenance module, obtains the weight and volume of the express through the warehouse usage module, calculates the estimated freight for each logistics method and the corresponding priority value for different logistics methods, recommends the logistics method with the highest priority value to the internal staff usage module, and transmits the estimated freight data to the warehouse usage module and the internal staff usage module.

Information acquisition, obtaining the weight and volume of the courier, inputting the departure place and destination of the courier for different logistics methods, and querying the charging standards and timeliness information of each logistics method under different weights and volumes accordingly; The aging mentioned above refers to the time required from the departure place to the destination during the transportation of express deliveries by different logistics methods; A2. Freight estimation: Calculate the estimated freight of the express delivery when it is transported by different logistics methods according to the weight, volume of the express delivery and the corresponding charging standards of different logistics methods; A3. Priority value calculation: The priority value represents the order of selection of logistics methods. According to the influencing factors that affect the size of the priority value, define the quantified scores of each influencing factor and the influence weights on the priority value, that is, define the influence sizes of different influencing factors, and sum the quantified scores of all influencing factors under different influence weights to obtain the priority value; The influencing factors at least include cost influencing factors and aging influencing factors; A4. Logistics selection: According to the calculated priority value, when there is no single-condition priority requirement, preferentially select the logistics method with a high priority value.
[0030] The above method is essentially a comprehensive priority method.

[0032] In the case of having a single-condition priority requirement, only select one priority requirement as the basis for the selection of the logistics method; In this embodiment, the shortest time priority requirement means that the customer needs to receive the relevant express delivery as soon as possible. At this time, other factors such as cost are not considered, and the logistics method with the highest aging score is preferentially selected; Other single-condition priority requirements for single-condition priority are similar.
[0033] Preferably, the calculation steps of the estimated freight are as follows: A21. Judge whether to charge according to the fixed weight charging standard; A22. If charging according to the fixed weight, then ; Where is the estimated freight, W is the weight of the express delivery, and P is the weight rate; A23. If not charging according to the fixed weight, it is necessary to calculate the classified freight. The classified freight includes the freight calculated according to the first weight and subsequent weight, the freight calculated according to the volumetric weight, and the freight calculated according to the volume. The estimated freight takes the maximum value among them.
[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the specific calculation method of the estimated freight in this embodiment includes: ; ; Where, , , They are the estimated freight, the freight calculated based on the first weight and subsequent weights, the freight calculated based on the volume-to-weight ratio, and the freight calculated based on volume respectively; , , , , They are the first weight fee, the subsequent weight rate, the insurance fee, the volume-to-weight rate, and the volume rate respectively; V is the volume, D is the volume-to-weight ratio, and W is the subsequent weight.
[0035] Volume weight is a standard used in the logistics and transportation industries to calculate freight. It mainly applies to goods with a large volume but a light weight. Its purpose is to balance the relationship between the space occupied by the goods and their actual weight, ensuring a more reasonable transportation cost. The volume-to-weight ratio refers to the numerical value of the equivalent weight corresponding to each unit of volume; Select the maximum value among the classified freight as the final freight. This method comprehensively considers the freight under different charging standards, avoiding the problem of underestimation or overestimation of freight caused by a single calculation method, making the freight calculation more in line with actual business.
[0036] Preferably, the calculation method of the preference value is as follows: ; ; Among them, , are the preference value, freight score, and timeliness score of the corresponding logistics method respectively; are the freight impact coefficient and timeliness impact coefficient respectively, and ; In this embodiment, the freight factor has a greater influence proportion than the timeliness factor in the process of selecting the logistics method, 0.4; , are the average freight value and average timeliness calculated from all logistics methods respectively; , are the freight and timeliness of the corresponding logistics method respectively. In this actual example, there are three logistics methods, with their freights being 30 yuan, 35 yuan, and 40 yuan respectively, and their timeliness being 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days respectively. Then , One of the logistics methods , the freight score of this logistics method the timeliness score of this logistics method preference value ; Among them, the freight and delivery time are both estimated values, which are obtained based on the relevant freight and delivery time data required for different logistics methods to transport from the same departure place to the same destination within a certain period; accordingly, the average freight is obtained by dividing the total freight of all logistics methods by the number of logistics methods; the average delivery time is obtained by dividing the total time required for all logistics methods by the number of logistics methods.
[0037] The influencing factors also include any combination of the complaint rate influencing factor, the additional charge rate influencing factor, and the customer rating influencing factor; the calculation method of the priority value includes the following Method 1 or Method 2; The calculation method of Method 1 is as follows: ; ; Wherein, are the complaint rate score, the additional charge rate score, and the customer rating score respectively; are the complaint rate influence coefficient, the additional charge rate influence coefficient, and the customer rating influence coefficient respectively, and in this calculation method ; , , are the average complaint rate, the average additional charge rate, and the average customer rating calculated by averaging all logistics methods respectively; , , are the complaint rate, the additional charge rate, and the customer rating of the corresponding logistics method respectively.
[0038] The relevant data such as freight, delivery time, complaint rate, additional charge rate, and customer rating are obtained based on the corresponding data generated during the process of different logistics methods transporting from the same departure place to the same destination within a certain period; among them, the complaint rate is obtained by dividing the number of complaints by the total number, the additional charge rate is obtained by dividing the additional charge amount by the total amount, and the data comes from the customer ratings collected each time, and the average of the customer ratings collected each time is taken.
[0039] The average complaint rate is obtained by dividing the total complaint rate of all logistics methods by the number of logistics methods, and the calculation methods of other averages are similar.
[0040] This embodiment elaborates in detail the calculation process of the priority value in the logistics selection system, comprehensively considering various influencing factors to determine the optimal logistics method. A batch of goods to be shipped from Place A to Place B involves three logistics methods, a, b, and c, and the relevant data is as follows: Freight data: The estimated freight of logistics method a is 50 yuan, the estimated freight of logistics method b is 55 yuan, and the estimated freight of logistics method c is 45 yuan.
[0041] Timeliness data: The estimated arrival time of logistics method a is 3 days, the estimated arrival time of logistics method b is 2 days, and the estimated arrival time of logistics method c is 4 days.
[0042] Complaint rate data: The complaint rate of logistics method a is 5%, the complaint rate of logistics method b is 3%, and the complaint rate of logistics method c is 4%.
[0043] Extra charge rate data: The extra charge rate of logistics method a is 2%, the extra charge rate of logistics method b is 4%, and the extra charge rate of logistics method c is 3%.
[0044] Customer rating data: The customer rating of logistics method a is 4 points (the full score is 5 points in this actual example), the customer rating of logistics method b is 4.5 points, and the customer rating of logistics method c is 3.5 points; In this embodiment, the weights of each influencing factor are as follows:
[0045] The scores of each logistics method are as follows: Freight score: According to the formula , Yuan, then ; Timeliness score: According to the formula , Days, then ; Complaint rate score: According to the formula , = 4%, then ; Extra charge rate score: According to the formula , 3%, then ; Customer rating score: According to the formula , 4 points, then ; The priority value of each logistics method: According to the formula , then ; Through calculation, it can be seen that the priority value of logistics method a is the highest. In the case of no single-condition priority demand, according to the calculation result of the priority value, logistics method a should be preferentially selected for shipping. This embodiment comprehensively demonstrates the calculation process of the priority value in the logistics selection system, comprehensively considering the influence of various factors on the selection of logistics methods, and providing a more scientific basis for logistics decision-making for enterprises.

As Figure 3 shown, the logistics management system includes an information maintenance module, an internal staff usage module, a warehouse usage module, and a background management module; The information maintenance module is respectively connected to the internal staff usage module, the warehouse usage module, and the background management module, and is responsible for maintaining the relationships among materials, inner boxes, and outer boxes, as well as order information, including the order placement time, estimated arrival time, goods type, quantity of goods, and whether there is a priority demand for a single condition of express delivery; The internal staff usage module is connected to the warehouse usage module, and is responsible for displaying the order information and estimated freight of all to-be-shipped express deliveries, and reviewing the optimal logistics method recommended by the background processing module to determine the logistics method; The warehouse usage module is connected to the background management module, and is responsible for the management of the warehouse usage process, including automatic weighing, binding the relationship between the box number and the express delivery number, outbound inspection, recording express delivery information, comparing freight, generating a freight difference report, and also supporting data query and export and handling special situations; The output end of the background management module is respectively connected to the warehouse usage module and the internal staff usage module; this module is responsible for estimating the freight of each logistics method, calculating the priority value of each logistics method, further transmitting the priority value and the estimated freight to the internal staff usage module, and at the same time transmitting the estimated freight to the warehouse usage module.
[0048] In this embodiment, the relevant information maintenance of the information maintenance module is as follows: Information such as the weight, volume, length, width, and height of materials is maintained in the cloud platform of Kingdee K3; while the relationships among materials, inner boxes, and outer boxes, and the freight for each express delivery to each provincial city are maintained in the C# platform.
[0049] Preferably, in the internal staff usage module, its specific operation steps include: B1. Obtain and display the order information of all to-be-shipped express deliveries through the information maintenance module; B2. Obtain and display the estimated freight and priority value of all to-be-shipped express deliveries through the background management module; B3. Determine whether there is a single - condition priority requirement based on the order information; if there is a single - condition priority requirement, select the logistics method according to the single - condition priority requirement; if there is no single - condition priority requirement, directly arrange the shipment according to the logistics method recommended by the background management module. In this embodiment, the order has a freight - condition priority requirement. At this time, only need to directly select the logistics method with the highest freight score to arrange the shipment. The selection method of the logistics method for other single - condition priority requirements is similar.
[0050] B4. Transmit the determined logistics method to the warehouse processing module.
[0051] Embodiment 3: The difference from Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment details the warehouse usage process of the warehouse management module, which specifically includes the following steps: C1. Automatically bind the relationship between the express waybill number and the box number; one box corresponds to one box number, and the box number is associated with the order number; when printing the express waybill, bind the express waybill number and the box number. This needs to be done in cases such as fresh goods, inventory goods, and accessories packed separately. In this embodiment, for the goods with the order number 20241001001, which are packed in the box with the box number 001, automatically bind the relationship between the express waybill number KD123456 and the box number 001. This operation is performed regardless of whether it is fresh goods, inventory goods, or accessories packed separately.
[0052] C2. Verify whether the box number is bound to the express waybill number; if it is bound to the express waybill number, proceed to the next step; if the binding is not completed, stop the outbound shipment and promptly feedback to the warehouse maintenance personnel; the warehouse maintenance personnel complete the binding work between the express waybill number and the box number manually. Support manual binding of the relationship between the express waybill number and the box number on the vertical warehouse or PDA interface to prevent unsuccessful automatic binding or other special situations. C3. The PDA scanner is connected to the electronic scale to automatically record the actual weight, volume, and volumetric weight of the express. In this embodiment, the volumetric weight is preferably calculated by volume, that is, volumetric weight = volume / volumetric weight ratio; if the volume of the goods is 0.3 That is , and the volumetric weight ratio of this type of goods is 6000, then the volumetric weight of this goods is ; C4. Determine whether the box number is bound to the order number, weight, and volume. If so, proceed to the next operation; if not bound, do not allow printing the express waybill and promptly feedback to the warehouse maintenance personnel. C5. Record the information of each printed express waybill; for subsequent query and traceability.
[0053] C6. Import the statement of account provided by the logistics company to our company for convenient subsequent query and comparison. C7. Take each shipment as a record and compare the estimated freight at the time of shipment with the estimated freight based on the actual weight of the package. Generate a report on the difference between the estimated freight for shipment and the actual estimated freight according to the selected time period. Facilitate viewing the estimated freight per box in the actual estimated freight of the package. C8. Take each box number as a record and generate a report on the difference between the actual estimated freight and the freight on the statement of account returned by the logistics company based on the comparison result of the estimated freight based on the actual weight and volume, and remind the warehouse maintenance personnel to handle the abnormal charges in a timely manner. As Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, the differences between the estimated freight at the time of goods shipment, the estimated freight based on the actual weight at the time of packaging, and the freight in the statement of account of the logistics company are all ten yuan each. After generating the freight difference report, it is found that the cost is abnormal and the abnormal orders are marked, reminding the warehouse maintenance personnel to communicate with the logistics company for handling. The freight difference report supports querying and exporting according to the selected time period according to the user's needs, facilitating the user for data analysis and management. In the execution of the warehouse usage process, there are some boxes that do not require an express waybill number, such as self-pickup. Such boxes need to be marked so that the waybill number verification is not required during outbound.
[0054] Embodiment 4: The difference from the above embodiment is that the background management module in this embodiment obtains the basic data of different logistics methods through the information maintenance module, including all-round information such as the charging standards, timeliness, complaint rate, additional charging rate, and customer rating of each region; obtains the real-time weight and volume data of the express through the warehouse usage module. These data will be automatically recorded by the PDA scanner connected to the electronic scale during the goods weighing process and transmitted to the warehouse usage module. Based on this, the background management module calculates the estimated freight of each logistics method and the corresponding priority values of different logistics methods. When calculating the estimated freight, the background management module determines the charging method based on the charging standard. If it is charged according to the fixed weight, the formula F = WP is directly used for calculation; if other charging standards such as first weight and subsequent weight, volumetric weight, or volume are adopted, the classified freight is calculated according to the corresponding formulas respectively, and the maximum value is selected as the estimated freight.
[0055] When calculating the priority value, the background management module obtains the number of factors affecting the logistics method score and the proportion of each influence coefficient from the information maintenance module. If the influencing factors include cost, timeliness, complaint rate, additional charging rate, and customer rating, and the influence coefficients are respectively , satisfying Calculate the scores of each factor through formulas, and then multiply the scores of each factor by the corresponding influence coefficients and sum them up to obtain the priority value of the corresponding logistics method. 。
[0056] After the calculation is completed, the background management module recommends the logistics method with the highest priority value to the internal staff usage module, and the internal staff usage module displays and guides the selection to the shipping staff accordingly. At the same time, the background management module transmits the estimated freight data to the warehouse usage module and the internal staff usage module. The warehouse usage module can be used to compare with the actual freight and generate a freight difference report, while the internal staff usage module provides cost reference for the shipping staff to assist in shipping decisions.
[0057] In the calculation of the priority value, the number of factors affecting the scoring of the logistics method and the proportion of each influence coefficient are maintained in the information maintenance module. Enterprises can adjust these parameters in the freight maintenance unit of the information maintenance module according to actual business needs. In this embodiment, during the promotion period, more attention is paid to the impact of timeliness on the selection of the logistics method, and the timeliness influence coefficient can be appropriately increased. ; During the cost control stage, increase the proportion of the cost influence coefficient. By flexibly adjusting these parameters, the logistics selection can be more in line with the current operation strategy and customer needs of the enterprise, ensuring the scientificity and accuracy of logistics decisions and achieving the improvement of enterprise logistics management efficiency.
